How to connect two cyclinders ???

[jwfoss]

Connecting to the valve is fairly simple, just use a Y connector such as McMaster Part Number: 5111K404

Depending on your cylinder type, you should be able to make a plate that bolts the tail of one cylinder to the nose of the other, overlapping the stationary bodys, similar to shown below.

"=" is the body of the cylinder
"--" is the cylinders extension rod
" I " would be a single plate

Al, The only rule I see restricting valves and cylinders is shown below, hooking up two cylinders seems to be perfectly legal and has been done in the past with many teams. Please correct me if I am incorrect or point me in the direction of a rule saying otherwise. Thanks.

[R78] The outputs from multiple valves may not be plumbed together into the same input on a pneumatic cylinder.
